Davao

[QUOTE=Dragon Slayer;1506127]San Pedro is a very sleazy part of downtown Davao. Is St Johns like this? Are the women mostly street Pros? I do not want to bring too sleazy a girl back to the rooftop Continental Club of the mP and have all the attendents in the Club watch as Dragon Slayer walks by with some Pro.[/QUOTE]Sorry for the late reply, I been a bit preoccupied. My two favorite sisters have brought their cousin into the picture. I'm thinking about making a show and calling it "All In The Family"

Anyway, After you cross Quezon Blvd on San Pedro, down to the right near the end is known as St John's. There's a road that runs along the beach from the river all the way up to Magsaysay Park. That whole area is what's known as The Boulevard. Many of the young women working real jobs in town live there. It's all the same, not a sleaze area just poor. So I don't really see any reason to go there unless you just like roaming around and feel lucky.

I've only actually bedded two that live there that I know of. Neither were sleazes or pros. One I met working in a retail shop and one I met roaming around the squats. You would be proud to bring either of them to your suite unless the latter one I mentioned smiled. Poor thing was missing all her top front teeth. I would have been willing to help with her smile, but can you imagine having more pressing financial issues than that? She made me go meet her mother and she was sitting in this tiny bamboo house that was collapsing into the sea. It really is dirt poor. Raw sewage drains right into the sea. That, along with the river is the reason the water is so filthy until you get up into Sasa.

That place is pretty good too by the way, if you have time to roam around. The water gets clear enough to swim and lots of people go there to party and sing a song, especially on weekends. That's the sound you can hear clear across the channel when you're on Samal

It has been quite some time since you have posted. Rumors abound that you died of Spontaneous Combustion from an overdose of Viagara. Please put these rumors to rest with an update from you.

No worries fellas as it is tax season and DS is busy with returns.

[QUOTE=Ricardo Torres;1549023]I am surprised that you were just kidding Wjmpsr, because I heard this from a member here on the ISG who posts on a regular basis on the regular Philippine board. I do enjoy reading the DS forum, and getting a chuckle or two from his posts. On the other hand, he very well could have passed on from unprotected sex, as he seems to think he is invincible, and feels it is alright to continue to have unprotected sex, putting the girls at risk, as well as himself, so quite possibly the consequences of his decisions has buried him, as well as his arrogance and holier than thou attitude towards others.[/QUOTE]RT,

How come a monger who is in South America where AIDS / HIV and all sort of STD prevail is now trolling the DS board and giving up about his 'demise' when you don't visit the Philippines, have no clue who he is / never met him, never contributed much (look at your FR history of 32) and likes to bang on (pun intended) about unprotected sex. If you want to do that please do it elsewhere as this subject has been covered ad naseum.

And if you wish to 'celebrate' the 'demise' of another member also go elsewhere preferably back to the Colombia thread whence you came which I think is fully moderated. The FR is bad form regardless of your views.

Just so we can be enlightened further by those who clearly know more than we do. Tell us which member from the other thread told you given that you have never visited the country and I doubt you have ever met an ISG member in your life. But prove me wrong RT as we are all waiting in morbid anticipation for the news.

Or will now will you return to the hole from whence you crawled out of LOL.

Please let me put these absurd rumors to rest. I spoke to DS about a week ago, and I assure all of you that he was in good health and has made plans for his next visit. He is neither dead, nor moribund, and his reasons for not posting for a while are more pedestrian than the speculations on this board. Time to fixate, I think, on another rumor.

GE[/QUOTE]Thanks GE, and as DS moderates this forum he must be alive to ensure it is moderated. And we all get busy at times and ISG then does not rule our working lives.

RT. Thanks for the very insightful PM you sent and see my reply (you realize you that what you said is libel?) As you said Jackson may not let you post again but some of us in our PMs have been asking if you are banned member but you now have a new handle.

As you said you read the entire forum but you comment / FR only in Colombia then very suddenly you give DS a hard time and complain about the reaction to IMHO a distasteful FR or do you get off on the responses. Who cares as long as you stay in South America LOL.

Guys,

Took a four month break. Just needed a rest from Posting on ISG. I will go to Davao shortly. Who is this Ricardo Torres? Is this "Urban Wildlife" in one of his numerous aliases? Let's see now, wake up in morning, brush teeth, shave (maybe not) , drink coffee, log onto computer and go to ISG Forum. Create new profile and new Password. Log in, Go to Dragon Slayer's Forum and "Fuck with his head". This guy REALLY DOES need some hobbies.

Has anyone stayed at Apo View since Wolfgang departed as Hotel GM? I stated numerous times that the Hotel is NOW a fucking mess. Not worth staying at ever! I always enjoyed running into Wolfgang there. I liked the service back then.

Has anyone found any decent new places to eat in Davao City? Please post here.

I really like the food here. No. Wine list etc, but good food. The menu is in Spanish which I think you speak.

i dig that place right next door to tiny kitchen also. it's not new and i don't know if it will even stay open. so many times i've been the only customer all day. (probably a bad sign, must be for a reason). haven't paid any attention to the menu lately but they put on a great paper wrapped, steamed lapu-lapu loaded up with olives, capers, onions and stuff. and some pretty good topping sauce on the side. you get some white pasta, which normally i wouldn't be into but it's sauteed in garlic and olive oil, and then there's a token vegetable or two. but the bonus is fresh baked pieces of flat white bread that i normally wouldn't care about either, but comes with this out of sight home made mango puree with olive oil. it's no bon appetit, and not lightning speed, but not a bad grub for a bit under 300.

oh ya, and don't bother with picabello's, they closed a while ago. too bad, it was also a good excuse for sight seeing in the little mall.

Guys,

Yes, Yo hablo espanol muy buenoe. Tailandia tampoco. Hapanes (nihongo) why China (pu dong qua) poquito.

I never liked Picobello's owned by two Swiss German guys from Swiss Deli. Lousy, cheap food in a "cafeteria like"

Setting. I do not care much for Swiss Deli either. Owners are More Than a BIT ARROGANT. I have no use for people like that.

In Davao City I like Henny's "De Bonte Koe", Yve's "Bon Appetit", Claude's "Café De Ville", Bistro Restaurant for fine dining on the 4th floor of Marco Polo and the Continental Club on the rooftop of the Marco Polo. I need to go over to Torres St and try some of these places. The couple I visited in the past were Chinese and not good. If I want Chinese food I will dine at the Chinese Restaurant on the third floor of the Marco Polo and eat authentic Hong Kong cuisine cooked by a Chinese Executive Chef.

I enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the Apoview"s "Entrée" restaurant and the first floor. But with Wolfgang gone as Hotel GM and the place a fucking mess with lousy service and a bunch of lowlifes running things, I will not be found dining here again.

The five Restaurants I mentioned are more than adequate for me when in Davao City. But I am open to suggestions. As to meeting pussy in Davao City, there are so many places it is a separate group of posts. The food court of the Mall on Illustre St at lunch or dinner time is fine for this. Stroll about and begin to talk to the ladies and ist with ones you like. Do NOT be koripot (vasayan for cheap, stingy, tight with your money). Buy the ladies soft drinks and talk to them. Invite them back to your hotel.

Recently, my favorite restaurant here, Bon Appétit, quintupled the size of it's heretofore small kitchen. Shortly thereafter, the lovely Chef Rosalie, started making absolutely authentic Magret de Canard à l'Orange, which is sautéed duck breast in a real French orange sauce. I ate it last night for the second time, and if anything, it was better than the first time. It was, by a wide margin, the best food I've had in Davao. Bon Appètit is not inexpensive by local standards. An excellent meal for two, with good French wine, will cost between Php4, 000 and Php5, 000 for two, and it's worth every centavo.

I would add the White House to DS' list. It's truly fine dining and the ambience is magnificent, but there dinner for two will upward of Php7-8, 000 so be prepared. My only complaint about the Japanese-French fusion cooking is that's it's all formulaic, made by people who were well-trained in following the formula but with no real passion for their craft. However, for those here for a few days, it's well worth trying.

GE

I would enjoy a good burger, too bad the Bon Apetite burger shop is in Tagum. GE have you tried one of their burgers?

Wjmpsr,

Best burger in Davao City is at the Marco Polo. I have not had a decent hamburger anywhere else in Davao. Entrée restaurant at APOView Hotel had the best beef tenderloin in Davao City.

Has anyone tried the ApoView Hotel recently? Rumor has it has or will be sold and Wolfgang will return as Hotel GM. No idea if this is true. Last time I stayed there the Hotel was a Fucking Mess! Staff were rude and offensive and service was nonexistent. I have stayed at the Marco Polo since then and intend to continue staying there.

I am in Davao now through May 11, staying at the Marco Polo. The Chinese restaurant on the 3rd floor of Marco Polo has some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. It's not cheap, but quality is impeccable.

As for cheaper Filipino fare, I'm a big fan of Penong's BBQ, which seems to be the best among a plethora of similar establishments. As for burgers, perhaps I'm spoiled (I'm from Texas) , but I've NEVER been able to find a decent burger in the Philippines, at Marco Polo or anywhere else, possibly because they use Australian beef here.
